MARLBOROUGH PROJECT.
FOR SHIPPING LINE. TO IMPROVE LOCAL SERVICES. BLENHEIM, July 15. The net result of a public meeting held at Blenheim in connection with Mr R. F. Goulter’s shipping scheme was that, after a very free and full discussion, the Farmers’ Union, which has been aiming at the establishment of a farmers’ combine of vessels, to ship away Marlborough produce at reasonable freight, and the Chamber of Commerce, which is aiming at an improved passenger service, between Picton and Wellington, have joined forces, and they will make inquiries with an eye to bringing down a combined scheme, catering for a. fast passenger service across the straits, and for a cargo carriage at freights controlled locally. After a full discussion, a resolution was passed that the matter of shipping for Marlborough be deferred until after the Chamber of Commerce has met the Union Company and conferred with the Farmers’ Union sub-committee, when the matter should again be brought before the public of Marlborough.
